Where I am the best sailors retire to Moths or use them as a stepping stone to AC/SailGP campaigns. Having said that, I am surprised there isn’t a professional Moth circuit, F1 style. Would be much cheaper to run that SailGP!- Bored Stiff

Fundamentally there appears to be insufficient incentive for Americans to want to compete in Olympic sailing. Not enough kudos or cash for the risk.- Bored Stiff

Just a thought but if a large population of tall, wealthy people was key to success wouldn’t the US be doing better than they are?- Bored Stiff

What harm is sailing being an Olympic sport doing you @sunseeker ?
